TRAVEL PROMOTIONAL SERIES Santa Fe The state capital of New Mexico, Santa Fe leads its visitors on a colorful journey invigorated by a world-class arts scene, world-renowned Southwestern cuisine and rich historical artifacts. Not to be outdone, the region’s brilliant weather and pristine natural setting at the base of the southern Rocky Mountains provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, from invigorating mountain climbing and river rafting excursions to family-friendly hiking and biking tours. Pick UP this local gUide Chew A Santa Fe dining institution since 1953, The Shed is now under the management of the third generation of the Carswell clan, but the same great recipes have been passed down for visitors to enjoy today. Their unique cuisine blending Spanish, Mexican and Pueblo flavors has garnered numerous honors and recognition, including a James Beard Foundation Award in 2003 designating the restaurant as an “American Classic.” See Art is one of the city’s prominent industries, reflecting a diversity that traverses Native American art from the surrounding Pueblo tribes, international folk art and modern multimedia installations. Well-established and up-and-coming artists peddle their art beneath the portal at the Palace of the Governors—a tradition more than 100 years old—while Canyon Road, Santa Fe’s largest art district, features close to 100 galleries in just a half-mile stretch. Do With a city so steeped in history, it’s little wonder that a number of Santa Fe’s attractions that receive the most focus are squarely in its well-chronicled cultural center, Santa Fe Plaza. Encircled by Pueblo, Spanish and Territorial architecture emblematic of its diverse past, the Plaza is highlighted by the San Miguel Mission, one of the nation’s oldest churches, and the city’s original palacio, the Palace of the Governors. Popular events such as the Summer Bandstand live music series also call it home. Relax A luxurious gateway to the natural beauty, culture and excitement of northern New Mexico, the AAA Four Diamond-rated Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino is nestled at the foot of the stunning Sangre de Cristo Mountains, just 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. The resort’s Pueblo-inspired exterior sets the tone for an experience that includes an award-winning 27-hole golf course, spa facilities, a state-of-the-art gaming venue and fine dining, all adorned with views of the breathtaking Pojoaque Valley. 114 spirit MAy 2013 With an almost cultlike following that has informed santa Fe’s locals and visitors for years on what’s happening in the city’s vital arts and culture scene, the award-winning Pasatiempo has just launched online as pasatiempo magazine.com. the santa Fe New Mexican’s weekly arts and entertainment guide, it features the most accurate, reliable event calendar in all of santa Fe, curated each week with exacting detail.
